pickJust discovering the poetry of Andrea Gibson after their death last month. I can see why they were so treasured by the LGBTQ community and beyond. A fantastic collection. So sad Gibson is gone but grateful we will continue to have their wise and powerful words.
We went camping for my birthday, and made sure to bring hammocks and books to enjoy together. I love reading in my hammock! #Camping #ReadOutside #Hammock
pickAs Matti struggles to save his family‘s prospects, he is thrown unexpectedly into the path of a dashing con artist who begrudgingly becomes his sword instructor. Watching Matti and Luca fight their growing feelings as they chart a crash course for their own secrets and those of other characters is a treat. I enjoyed the character development in this book quite a bit. It is a slower paced book because it deals with business espionage. #LGBTQIA
pickNo I haven‘t fallen off the face of the earth I‘ve just been moving… still 🥴 But I finally got to listen to this cast audio version of Angels in America which was fantastic. I see a subscription to National Theater at Home in my future. Maybe a reward for when this moving nonsense is behind me. 🙃
pickGood cute story about a girl lost 65 million years ago when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

pick“This time, no matter where you wish to go, this master will accompany you.“
And here they are, at the end of their journey to find one another, at the beginning of a whole lot more.
On reflection, this volume is probably my favourite. There are some fun things in the fourth volume (short stories), but that's much bittier and has a bunch of filler (at least from my POV as a non-fan of Mobei-jun and Shang Qinghua).
And once again, Shen Qingqiu's sect siblings (and his disciples) love him so...
But mostly, it's time for the showdown!
This moment, when Shen Qingqiu tries to embrace the crying Luo Binghe in his memory, feels pretty important for Shen Qingqiu -- especially since when he wakes up he admits to having missed the adult Luo Binghe.
Shen Qingqiu really should connect the dots about “Qi-ge“, too... but not yet.
